Today we celebrated another year in the life of a remarkable man, my dad. If you are counting, he is 85 and still going strong. My sister hosted a luncheon for family and a few friends. We spent the afternoon talking, eating and laughing.
A most delicious cake baked by a friend of my sister Carol. The cake was my dad’s favorite, chocolate on chocolate.
Leslie set a beautiful table. The fall mums in the center of the table are in a vase filled with fresh cranberries. Nice look!

Virginia, Fran and everyone else at the table was giving him instructions on how to cut the cake, although none of us wanted to do it ourselves. Carol is standing behind Daddy making a face as he begins to make the first cut.
